Hi. What's going on with your little one?

I answer only from published paediatric guidelines, tell you where each sentence comes from, and say clearly when it's time to see a doctor.

Why this exists

Nobody to ask at three in the morning

No parent should be left without a paediatric answer because they cannot pay for one, because the clinic is far, or because nobody there speaks their language. That is why this is free, asks for no account and answers in eight languages.

Most parents cannot phone a paediatrician at 3 a.m., and many cannot phone one at all. This site answers from the guidelines paediatric societies and health ministries already publish for families, says which document each sentence came from, and says plainly when it does not know. It is free, it asks for no account and carries no advertising; the person who built it pays for it.

How it works

Three filters between the question and the answer

The safety check runs first, the guidelines are found second, and the writing comes last — only from what was found. If nothing is found, PediBot says so.

1

Warning signs first

A rule-based check looks for the signs emergency paediatricians publish for parents — a baby under 3 months with fever, vomiting after a head bump, a swallowed battery. If one matches, the answer opens with "go now".

2

Only published guidelines

{docs} documents from paediatric societies and public health bodies. No forums, no blogs. Each one is listed with its organisation and a link to the original.

3

Nothing is said that is not in a source

«According to the SEUP…», «the WHO recommends…»: the answer names the bodies it comes from. A verifier rejects any reply that cites something that wasn’t found, or states a dose the guideline didn’t. Doses come from the calculator, never from the AI.

Dose calculator

Paracetamol and ibuprofen, by weight — in ml for your bottle

Type the name on your bottle (Calpol, Tylenol, Apiretal, Dalsy, Nurofen, Advil…) and your child's weight. Fixed tables from the AEPap dosing guide, with hard maximums. No AI involved.

Paracetamol by weight, straight from the table

210 mgper dose· every 4–6 h
  • 8.7 ml syrup 120 mg/5 ml
  • 2.1 ml drops 100 mg/ml

Always check the strength printed on your bottle.
